    The game also refuses to stay open for me after the 3.1.2 update on 1/17. I bought the game through Steam so it launches the EA App to play. I have tried the following:

    • EA App Cache clearing
    • Deleting 2042's cache folder
    • EasyAntiCheat repair
    • Steam file verification
    • Restarting PC after each of these
    • Reinstalling the game
    • Launching through the EA App versus Steam

    I do not overclock any of my hardware and none of my drivers have changed between today's update and a few days ago when I played 2042 just fine. The game will either crash at the EAC splash screen, or the game window will open but not have a window title, and close after about 5 seconds.

    I had the same issue,  I got it to work by uninstalling the latest windows security update (KB5022282)
    My issue is now though that windows doesn't let me uninstall it.
    I've tried all of this aswel, I also just get the 5 seconds after EAC window.

    @UB-capSAR So, today I managed to get the game to launch again. The only thing that changed since not working till working was turning off g-sync

    So, I've read and have tried all possible combinations of repair and stuff. No joy! I built my wife a new PC system and the game wont load there either.  Goes to black window, stops and back to the main EA app window. 

     Either my game is owned by someone else or I have been banned. I was able to play the game up to about a month ago when I upgraded my cpu and graphics card. I have Win 11. I tried all steps available on here and the WWW.

    After I got my wifes PC going, tried on there. Win 10. No joy there.

    HELP!

    Mine has stopped working since EA uninstalled Origin and replaced it with the EA App.

    Since then it gets as far as teh anticheat screen for 20 seconds then goes back to the ea app. BF doesnt even load like it did before.

    Ive uninstalled it reinstalled it and still nothing. If only i could put origin back on but when you do EA kill it with a warning so no game anymore.
